I used to post on here ocassionally when I was preg with DS1 , don't know if any of you remember me but I had my son Thomas 3 months early on 21/1/09 weighing in at 1lb 15ozs . Just thought I would update you that on Thursday afternoon after 3 months and 2 days in hospital and now weighing in at a hefty 5lb 15ozs Thomas finally came home :j:j:j

Good luck to you all with your pregnancies xxx

You iron your bedding? I quite enjoy ironing - once I've started but I've never ironed bedding (apart from the pillow cases as they're so easy to do ) I find if you just fold them carefully you don't get any noticeable creases and after a day I doubt anyone would notice anyway.

Not as a rule no... infact I don't iron ANYTHING! However this particular duvet set seems determined to be creasy - last time I didn't iron it and it looked horrible! So this time I think I'll have to just deal with the fact that it needs and iron before it goes on... *sigh*

Well it's morning... *yawn*
Today DH is taking me to Oxford to buy a nursing bra... I'm now 37 weeks today and figure I need to get a nursing bra to take with me to hospital - only getting one as at min £22 they're not cheap if my size changes hugely after my milk comes in :S
And I can't buy cheap ones at mothercare etc... 34J isn't a standard size they stock
The sweetest thing is DH won't let me in on my own... he's paranoid about anyone accidently bumping into me or me exhausting myself bless him.
Yesterday I did the shopping but NOTHING else and felt useless, DH came home from work and did the hoovering poor thing. I felt so useless... I was just SO exhausted and couldn't even get comfy to have a nap... hoping I'll get through today

Morning all..

Busy busy day for me.. Got to wash my hair in a min then Mum's going to cut it for me. Then going shopping for an outfit for OH to wear this afternoon (jeez, nothing like last minute!) and I hate buying clothes for him! He's not fussed about what he wears but as their my friends and I'm chosing I feel like his mother, dictating what he wears! Carpet shopping, card/present shopping (not for this afternoon tho) then going to the wedding for 4pm!

LOL My mum's just come down in new trousers which she's bought for today - she said she's feeling fat and thinks she's "coming out in sympathy with me"!

Right, must dash.. catch up later xx

natalie1974 - Congrats to you and Thomas. Glad to hear he's doing so well

As for me I've spent ages catching up then go and forget everything I was going to write - darn pregnancy brain!

Scan was fine this week even though they were quite concerned baby is currently breech, I'm not sure why though as I'm only 28 & 5

Our first NCT class went well and everyone seemed really nice so hoping we can get to know some other couples in the same boat.

Plans for the day are to FINALLY! finish clearing the nursery and I'm under strict instructions that there is no way I will get out of it and convince DH to do something more exciting! - We'll see shall we :rolleyes:

Have a good saturday morning all

Good morning ladies! :j

What a wonderful, beautiful day it is. After all my whinging I finally convinced my beloved husband to do his husbandly duty and I feel so much better.

He, however, is still far sicker than me and is still sleeping off the exertion. :rotfl:

Today's plan will mostly involve

heading over to my old place
putting the bathroom rug and sofa throw in the laundry
cleaning all four rooms
sweeping the balcony
checking the mailbox and removing my name from it
final checks for Stuff That Is Mine
removing the last of the stuff to come over here
vacuuming the hallway
moving everything over here
finding a place to put it

I have decided that for my birthday I want a print of Blake's picture Teach These Souls To Fly for the nursery wall and/or a pair of turquoise shoes in a half size larger than my current pair of bright red ones. My birthday is in two months but it pays to be prepared.

I also want to go to Ikea at some point. We need a changing table and either a child's wardrobe or another set of shelves, and plastic baskets for the shelves we bought the other day. And I need another shoe rack. Possibly three. First we need to finish organising the apartment. We got a lot done yesterday but it was hard, hard going.

Breakfast time then I'm off - don't talk too much while I'm gone!

Well DH had some good news this morning
We've been reclaiming PPI on his Egg card and been waiting and waiting and waiting... and today they confirmed that they WILL be coughing up...





Wait for it...










over £2800 :j :j :j :j

So he's putting £1000 in the maternity fund, spending £100 on a fishing trip and taking me out for dinner tonight The rest is probably going to pay off a chunk of his cards

So it's going to be a NICE shopping trip today
